This is a scene on the raging Miami river at Dayton, 0., where bun-dreds of lives have been lost in the floods.

S m a l l O w i n g to A m p l e W a r n i n g .

Latest investigations tend to con­firm the estimates of fewer than 500 deaths in the floods that swept over i score of cities in Ohio and Iadiana last week.

As the waters receded from Dayton, 'olumbus and other places, leaving a

thick coating of mud, alarm was caus-ju by a rap.d rise of the" Ohio and the Mississippi rivers, inundating parts of cities along their banks.

There is not much danger of loss of life in these places, however, as the inhabitants have hills to flee to and ..:e used to floods.

Revised reports indicate that the number drowned in Dayton may not exceed 150. The death list at Piqua, Ohio, fell from the estimate of 50 to 13 known dead.

Sanitary experts from the United States public health service are or­dered to Dayton by Secretary of War Garrison to protect city from pesti­lence. The Water has receded in Dayton and rescuers in some sections use canoes and flat bottomed boats, while in other sections relief squads wade.

People throughout country are urg­ed by Daytot v f committee not to send messages luiry, as they can­not be delivered because the wire ca­pacity is taxed to the utmost by offi­cial and public business.

Brookville, Indiana, \s - practically under martial law and 20 men have been driven out of the city after loot ing damaged homes £hd buildings. T c hundred and fifty children rescued from the flood hare only night clothe? and wagon trains carried food and clothing from Connersville to the stricken people.

The work of rehabitation began at Dayton and other flooded cities as the w^rk of rescue approached its end. The all important weather 3howed improvement as viewed by -efugees, for it was warmer,and pleas­ant to frost and water-chilled bones. Sanitary experts accepted the rise in temperature with mixed feelings, for the cold had retarded decomposition it an'mal matter and refuse.

Members of the citizens' relief eom-ittee at Dayton, are apprehensive

if a water famine. It is believed there little chance that the present sup-

1v can bQ mad 1 to last until the wa-?re in me again. R. H.

Jrart, herd of the relief supplies com-Vttee, issi'ed an appeal to all cities ?n the country, asking that as muh " otfled water as posisble be shipped o Dayton immediately. It is especlal-

fy desired that th's water be strictly pure, as it is practically Impossible to

,: •*

boil the water for drinking pur poses.

Medical supplies were reported woe­fully short. Drug stocks were largely destroyed, and the chests of the mili­tia, as weil as supplies sent by other cities, have in many instances been delayed by washouts and other mis­haps of the flood.

Access to Dayton is now compara­tively easy and relief trains are arriv­ing nearly every hour with food, cloth­ing, medical supplies, physicians, and Red Cross nurses.

No city even in war times was ever under stricter martial law. The pro­vost guard sounds the curfew at 8 o'clock. With it all passes are re­voked automatically and none permit­ted on the street. The sleep of the exhausted stricken was interrupted continually by the boom of guns. Des­pite the drastic military measures many attempted to pass the lines and looters were busy. The militia had orders to shoot to kill aftqr one warn­ing and the continual crash of the muskets was evidence that the warn­ings would not stop the marauders.

With nearly 15,000 persons in the towns along the Kentucky side of the Ohio river driven from their homes by the rising yellow tide sweeping down the Ohio valley, and with more than 3,500 homes altogether or partly submerged, the flood situation in that icinity is assuming graver propor-ions at Cincinnati, the water front

buildings are all partly under water nd much damage has been done. One life has been lost as a direct

result of the high water here. Miss Inna Smith, the first victim drowned, lost her life in an attempt to reach Newport in a skiff that capsied in mid­stream. Her three men companions were rescued.

Newport and Covington, virtually are suddounded by water. Conditions there are worse than elsewhere and nearly 10,000 persons have been driv­en from their homes.

Relief measures, however, are ade­quate. In these two cities the onlv fear is that health conditions would be ser'ously affected because of the clogging of the sewage system and the stagnation of backwater. As yet the water works have continued in opera­tion, The electric light plants al­ready have had to ceane, but gas plarts are not interrupted.

In the Kentucky towns of Dayton, Ludlow, Bellevue and Bromley, iden­tical conditions exist, but in their cases all communication w?th Cincin­nati, Newport and Covington has been suspended*

Lansing.—A Michigan United rail­way interurban car was wrecked at Holt, ten miles south of here. Six persons were injured, one fatally. It was a rear-end collision, be­tween the local passenger and a freight car on the Lansing-Jackson di­vision at Guns Crossing. The freight had stopped to take on a consignment of milk for a Lansing factory and was occupying the rightof-way when the Lansing local came around the curve. Motorman George Mahrle of the local applied the air and made several at­tempts to stop the car, but the rails were covered with a fine coating of Ice and the brakes refused to work.

Mt. Clemens.—As the result of Injury and exposure a month ago, when he broke his leg while re­turning from a fishing trip on Lake St. Clair, David Peltier, fifty-nine years old, died at the home of his son, Fred, here. At the time he was injured he lay in his house for hours in the cold before assistance reached him.

Grand Rapids.—Asa Rickard, sev­enteen, of Traverse City, indicted by the federal grand jury on the charge of stealing a post office money order, has been freed because of probable fatal illness. He was at­tacked by heart failure. The court al­lowed him to return home to return when wanted, if he survives.

Carlotte.—Warren McClintic, for years a well known resi­dent of this county and the past three years a resident of this city, dropped dead while transacting business in a local bank. His widow and two daugh­ters survive.

Port Huron.—Pauline Schroeder of Lynn township has been ordered com­mitted to the asylum at' Pontiac. The woman had started no less than three fires on the floor of her home.

Saginaw. — The Eighth District Dental society was organized in Saginaw and Dr. W. L. Crego elect­ed president. Dr. G. Burke, Detroit, gave an address. The dental law be­fore the state legislature was indorsed.

Houghton.—Hundreds of persons are leaving the dozen towns of the MichigLn copper country, Houghton and Keweenaw counties, weekly, the greater number going to Detroit, where they seek employment in the automobile factories, and to the Sudbury and Cobalt mining dis­tricts of Ontario and the mining and farming districts of northern Min­nesota. Repeated rumors of coming strikes among the mine employes of the district have caused many to leave this county, although many going to Minnesota and the west are planning to take up firming lands.

Bay City.—Judge Collins sentenced five men to Marquette prison, that being the only reformatory available. David Hill, forty-one years old, drew a one to two years' sentence, with a maximum of five, for robbing a freight car. Joseph Powalskl, eigh­teen, who broke into a store and stole shoes, was given six months to a year. Edgar Minnie got the same dose for highway robbery, as did Otto Hueb-ner, eighteen, and Norbet Donley, twenty-six, for a similar offense.

Allegan.—The suffragettes are-very busy in their campaign, hav­ing just organized a Civic Suffrage league with the following officers: President, Mrs. Perry Sirrine; vice-president, Mrs. H. D. Moore; secre­tary, Mrs. F. I. Chichester; treasurer, Mrs. H. W. Mcintosh.

«

Saginaw.—An unidentified man Jumped into the river at the foot of James street. The cook on the R. B. Hayes saw the man commit sui­cide. The body has not been discov­ered.

Bay City.—Frank Geffert, forty-five, took strychnine with suicidal intent, and is in a critical condi­tion at the West Side hospital. Gef-fert's home burned and in a note in which he had written before taking the poison he said he had been wrong­fully accused of setting the house afire.

Petoskey.—The bodies of Irvin Johnson, fourteen, and Alton West-brook, twelve, St. Ignace boys who were lost in a storm last week, were found on the ice of Mackinac straits by the car ferry crew. Instead of falling into the channel and drown­ing, as was at first thought, they had frozen to death.

Grand Rapids.—Otto Liebeler, re­cently released from a five months' terms in the Shiawassee' county jail for the theft of an automobile, was sentenced to 46 days in tbe Kent county jail for violating his probation after conviction on a petty larceny charge,

FLY TO PIECES. The Effect of Coffee on Highly Organ-

Ized People.

"I have been a coffee user for years, and about two years ago got into a very serious condition of dys­pepsia and indigestion. It seemed to me I would fly to pieces. I was so nervous that at the least noise I was distressed, and many times could not straighten myself up because of the pain;"

Tea is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.

"My physician told me I must not eat any heavy or strong food, and or­dered a diet, giving me some medi­cine. I followed directions carefully, but kept on using coffee and did not get any better.

"Last winter my husband, who was *way on business, had Postum served to him in the family, where he board* ed. He liked it so well that when he came home he brought some with him. We began using it and I found it most excellent

"While I drank it my stomach never bothered me in the least, and I got 'over my nervous troubles. When the Postum was gone we returned to cof­fee, then my stomach began to hurt me as before', and the nervous con­ditions came on again.

"That showed me exactly what was the cause of the whole trouble, so X quit drinking coffee altogether and kept on using Postum. The old trou­bles left again and have never re* turned."

"There's a reason" and It is explain-ed in the little book, "The Road to Wellville, in pkgs.

Two crosspieces of 2 by 4s (D) are bolted lengthwise to the posts to give the frames rigidity. Two blocks (F) are bolted at the forward ends of D to stop the forward movement of the lifting frame. TheBe are placed a lit­tle past the center so as to lock the frame while up. Two pawls notched at one end are bolted underneath the rack frame with the notched ends against the rear bolster of the wagon This prevents the rack slipping back as it rises from the wagon.

S T A P L E FOOD FOR CHICKENS

Hens Cannot Give Best Results When Fed Grain Alone—Fowls De­

mand Variety of Feed.

Grain is the staple food for poultry, and will be used for. that purpose as long as fowls are kept on farms, but hens cannot give good results on grain alone. It is beneficial to them and will be at all times relished, but the de­mands of the hens are such as to call for a variety. In the shells of eggs as well as their composition are sev­eral forms of mineral matter and nitro­gen, which can only be partially ob­tained from grain.

Even grains vary in composition, and when fowls are fed on one kind for a long time they will begin to re­fuse it, as they may be oversupplied with the elements of the food partaken and lack the elements that are best supplied from some other source. Fpr this reason they will accept a change of food, which is of itself an evidence that the best results from hens can only be obtained by a variety of food-Corn and wheat may be used as food with advantage, but must be given as a portion of the ration and not made exclusive articles of diet.

* Fighting Ringworm. Ringworm is a contagious disease

due to a fungas. Man, horses and cat­tle are commonly affected, and it is easily transmitted from one animal to another. The affection first asserts Itself as a ringlike patch, with the hair broken off. The usual location is on the skin around the eyebrows, or muzzle, scattering from there over different parts of the body. Treatment is sometimes easy, more often difficult to completely eradicate. All brushes and utensils in contact with infected animals should be sterilized. Wash the patch with soap and water, and apply tincture of iodine or lard and salicylic acid, six part to one of salicylic acid.

HOW TO PREVENT OAT SMUT

Grain Should Be Treated With For-ntialin Solution in Morning and

Drilled in Same Day.

To prevent oat smut, the grain should be treated with formalin It takes about one ounce of formalin for every five bushels of grain to be treat­ed.

Clean a space on the barn floor and thoroughly sprinkle it with the for­malin solution before spreading the seed grain. The oats should be run through the fanning mill twice to re­move all light grain, as only heavy clean seed should be sown. Spread down the seed grain, then sprinkle the grain with the formalin solution made as follows: Formalin, one ounce; wa­ter, two and one-half gallons; mix thoroughly. The solution can be ap­plied with a fine rose watering pot; shovel the grain over so that every seed is coated with the solution. When all the grain is coataed, shovel the grain into a round pile and cover with sacks for not more than two or three hours, then spread out, and as soon as the oats will not stick together it is fit to sow or drill. The grain should be treated in the morning and drilled in the same day. The drill should be set to drill two and one-fourth to two and one-half bushels to the acre, as the oats, having absorbed considerable water are larger than dry oats. Have the ground thoroughly mellowed; drill the oats in with 250 pounds to the acre of some good bone fertilizer. Even if the ground is in good order, it will pay to use the fertilizer. The fer­tilizer will ripen the grain early, the straw will stand up stiff and cannot be blown down by summer storms and the yield will be increased fully 10 to 12 bushels per acre.

FOR CUTTING PRICKLY PEAR

Implement Invented by Texas Man for Quickly Clearing Land for

the Purpose of Cultivation.

In describing an implement intend­ed for catting and handling prickly pear, invented by R. H. Brown of San Antonia, Tex., the Scientific American says:

This invention pertains to imple­ments for clearing the ground for pur­poses of cultivation, the object being to provide an implement which may be easily and quickly handled for the

Prickly Pear Implement

purpose of cutting and handling prick-ly pear. Broadly, the improvement consists in the provision of an imple­ment which embodies a handle and a transversely elongated head at one end of the handle, having an outer cutting edge and an engaging prong or tine extending from one side thereof.

Most Serious Problem. Infectious abortion among cattle

has become one of the most serious problems for cattle owners so far as Infectious diseases are concerned. It is well entitled to rank in import­ance with tuberculosis, hog cholera, and Texas fever. Two new medical treatments have recently appeared, either one of which may possibly prove to be of very great importance. One, abortin, is used like tuberculin, as a diagnostic; and the other Is a vaccine, which it is hoped will im­munize heifers against the infection There is not sufficient reliable infor­mation available as yet, upon which to justify any definite statement. Breeders should keep these things in mind and watch for future develop­ments.

Value of Education. The question is often asked, "Of

how much value is school training to farmers from a business standpoint?" A recent agricultural eurvey of sever­al townships of Tompkins county, New York, made by the College of Agricul­ture of Cornell University has reveal­ed many Interesting and suggestive facts bearing upon rural sociology. To quote from the Nummary: "The sur­vey shows that a high school educa­tion is worth as much to a farmer as $6,000 worth of 5 per cent, bonds. A college education Is worth nearly twice as much."

Good Milk Records. It is worthy of notice that within

12 months the Ayrshire Breeders' As­sociation had three cows qualify for advanced registry with records of over 20,000 pounds of milk each, and this, too, under widely different condi­tions, two from the favorable locality of the state of Washington and one from the hills of Vermont

No Little Girl for Him. The six-yearrold son of a well-known

Indianapolis family attends a dancing school. He is a chubby little fellow who has not begun to stretch out yet, and he keenly feels his "shortage." He demands that he be recognized as a little "grownup." Several days ago the teacher planned to instruct her pupils in dancing "the Butterfly." A five-year-old girl who is small for her age, and just a trifle stouter than our hero, but an adept at dancing, was assigned as his partner. He gazed at her in silence. Then he took hold of her hand and, with his mouth set firmly, walked straight over the the teacher.

"Don't you think you'd better give me a bigger girl ?'f he asked.—Indian­apolis News.

WORSE T THEMURDE

ME mem name of tho Rus­sian secret police has al­ways Inspired a feeling of dread In every honest American heart Yet the assassination of the gam­bler Rosenthal In New York revealed a murder­ous ring that makes the

tsar's spy system appear tame by comparison.

Furthermore! It seems that the rest of the nation, which shuddered with virtuous horror at the Manhattan crimes, has good reason to feel asham­ed. Compared to Russia, this joyous land of freedom averages more than three murders to one.

Worse than Russia by far Is this country j n its reckless disregard for human life; and It Is piling up ho ml-aids records at such a rate thst even Insurance experts are beginning to wonder If our vaunted civilization Is progressing as fast as we think. "'•

It Is always an "open season" for unpopular Russian officials. Pot shots at them are never held to violate the ethics of true sportsmanship. Aside

from them, however, the Russian is not usually looking for human game.

When it comes to real execution, a New York gunman of the good old days before Lieutenant Becker was convicted would put the ordinary ni­hilist in the class of sparrow shoot­ers. For real deviltry, the nicely manicured murderers of the Second avenue coffee houses were in a class by themselves; the rough-necked, long-bearded Russian agitators, who knew no better than to throw the primitive and unwieldly bombs, could never expect to rival their records.

Barring nihilists and anarchists, however, the great mass of Russians are not murderers at heart By far the greatest proportion of the popula­tion is composed of Ignorant peasants, who drudge along as best they may with an extra portion of food and drink on feast days. They are stolid individuals, with a tingle ot pessim­ism and melancholy as the common heritage of the Slav race.

Considering that almost exactly one official a day is brought down, the Russian marksmanship may be held to be fairly good, in view of the primi­tive methods and weapons. In the body of the population, though, the homicides are not greatly, if any, in excess of those of England.

For the five years 1907 to 1912, ac­cording to figures recently given out by the statistical department of the ministry of the Interior, there were 7,716 killings, an average of 1,543 an­nually. With only 298 homicides a year to her 35,000,000 people, Eng­land is one of the few nations with a record as low or lower. On the oth­er hand, America, with about 3,000 slaying* per year in her "registration area" alone, is at the top of the life-taking nations.

Just how many murders there are in this country in a year has never been definitely ascertained. It is known, however, that, in the* 53 per cent, of the population included in the .states that keep accurate vital statistics, the ratio of killings per 100,000 of population has ranged fromj, 6 to fi. In the big cities it has gone as high as 8.3. Judging from the known to the unknown there must be at least 5,000 to 0,000 persons slain every years.

For instance, during 1911, there were 1,300 lives taken in our thirty largest cities, giving the high-water ratio above quoted. In other words, there are almost as many persons killed in our big towns as in the whole of Russia.

In the decade ending with 1910 there were nearly 10,000 lives taken in these same cities, or three times as many as occurred in England in the same length of time. ~ On this point F. L. Hoffman in a recent article in the Spectator, an in­surance journal, said:

"The comparison brings out In star­tling contrast the disregard of human life in the United States at the pres­ent time. The subject is obviously one of most serious importance, not only to life insurance companies, but also to the public at large, and, grant­ing the defects" in the available statis­tics^ there can be no question of doubt buy that* the American homicide rate Is exceedingly high and that the rate Is on tfce increase. A condition of thia kind ta not compatible with the common assumption that actual pror

Undoubtedly our worst record, which moved Mr. Hoffman to make such a severe assertion, is that of our cities, and, according to the sta­tistics compiled for his article, this follows: HOMICIDE STATISTICS FOR 30 AMER­

record gets. Nor is it strange that we reach a point where as Mr. Hoff­man says, we begin to have grave doubts as to whether, our vaunted civilization Is all that it is cracked up to be.

Counting only the 30 principal cities, the average ratio per 100,000 of popu­lation hail increased from 5 since the decade ending with 1891 to 7.2 for the

10 years ending with 1911. The maxi­mum so far was reached in 1907, when the ratio rose to 7.8.

Such a showing, indeed, moved our former ambassador to Germany, An­drew D. White, to declare some years ago in a speech to the students of Cornell University, of which he used to be president:

"My own studies on the subject, which have now lasted through years and have been made in all parts of the Union, convince roe that we lead the civilized world, with the excep­tion, perhaps, of Lower Italy and Si­cily, in murders, and especially in un­punished murders.

"In proof of this you have only to consult statistics for the last 15 years, which show that the number of mur­ders has risen in proportion far be­yond that of the increase of popula­tion and from about 3,000 a year to close upon 10,000. Also that of recent years only about one homicide in 74 has been capitally punished."

While there were more than 1,650 murders in American cities In 1911 there were in all the Nation less than a hundred executions. . When it comes to a section study of murder, the south, with its large colored population, leads. While in actual numbers Chicago is at the head of the "murder cities," its ratio is far eclipsed by some of the smaller towns below it.

Lowest of all ratios are shown by the eastern cities, 10 of which during 1911 had 442 homicides or 5.2 per 100,% 000 of population. Muj§h worse were the central municipalities, six of which showed 391 slaylngs or 9 per 100,000. Just a shade better were the three biggest western towns, with 67 killings or a ratio of 8.5. Away the highest was the southern group, nine of which produced 400 casualties/ reaching the terrible rate of 20 per 100,000 or one for every 5,000 of their population.

HE HAD THE NERVE And That Is Why the Young Med­

ico Built Up Practice Among

Strangers.

BY MAUDE J. PERKINS. Old Doctor Bliss had sold his prac­

tice and good-will to a young M. D., and the village of Roselands resented It The people for five miles around had come to believe that the old doctor was infallible. Where one of his pa­tients had died he had saved a score. He was a fatherly, sympathetic man, making his calls no matter what tbe weather or the distance, and even if ne had got to be sixty-five years old he had no right to turn the people over to a young man fresh from col­lege and not yet having a case to diag­nose.

"Oh, he'll do—hell do," was the doctor's reply to the grumblers. "I had to start that way, you know. I shall be here to help him out if he needs it. IVe tried him out and found him very bright"

Mr. Royal Preston fully realized what he had to meet, and that it would take time .to remove the prejudice. He must do the best he could and hope to be lucky with his first few patients.

"If you get a call from the Gilberts, the rest of the people will follow/* said Doctor Bliss. "The Gilberts are rich and sort o' run things in this com­munity. Have you seen Nina Gilbert yet?"

"Not to know her." "Charming, handsome girl and an

heiress. I must get her to champion your cause. Don't fall in love with her, for she is not for you. She can have her choice of several rich men's sons."

That evening Doctor Preston attend­ed a lecture in the town hall. In front of him Bat two young ladies, and as the lecture didn't Interest them much, they presently began talking to each other, leading off with!

"Mollie, have you heard about the new doctor?"

"Yes. Nina." Doctor Preston pricked up his ears.

It was possible, but not probable, that here was the Nina Gilbert the old doc­tor referred to. Yes, good-looking so far as he could judge, with a haughty poise of the head.

"Isn't it a shame?" she queried of Mollie.

"What?" "Why, Doctor Bliss stepping out and

leaving us to the mercy of a fledg­ling." . "He Is pretty young. I understand he's only about twenty-tour."

"And never had a case. He's sure­ly some quack that has deceived the good old doctor." %

"But if we are ailing?" "If it's any one In our family, we'll

send to the city for some one that knows beans from putty. Mrs. Davis says anybody would know the young man was a quack to look at him."

A doctor must have nerve. Doctor Preston had it. If he had been a fail­ure as to nerve he would have jumped out of one of the open windows, or at least stood up and taught those young ladles how to swear in three different languages. He may have flushed a little, but his nerve held him fast Of all the 200 people making up the audi* ence he appeared to be paying the most attention to the words of the, lecturer.

The young ladles had Just ceased to discuss him when his landlord came down the aisle and halted and said:

"Guess I'll have to take a seat with you, Doctor Preston."

"That's right—sit 4own." "Doctor Preston!" gasped Miss

Nina. "Doctor Preston!" gasped Miss Mol­

lie. There he was right behind them, and

must have heard their comments and criticisms. They hadn't nerve. Kp young lady has need of i t ' Their best plan was to rise up and walk out doors as carelessly as if old Doctor Bliss was only forty years old. Many people looked at them in surprise, and the lecturer got so muddled up that he got it that Eve was created before Adam, and that she was disagreeably surprised when he came loafing; along one day.

"Well, that cooks me," mused Doe* tor Preston as he walked home after the lecture. "They were simply dis­cussing me before. Now that they know I overheard them they can nev­er see any good in me. It's surely good-by to the Gilberts for me."

Doctor Preston was fit for the best society in the village, but be did not seek it. He could accept of no invita­tions without meeting the two young ladies who had a grievance, and it would be embarrassing to both sides. He had three or four patients and ef­fected speedy cures, when there came a lazy day and he got out the horse and sulky for a make-believe call to some farmer's house. Of course, you know that this is a little trick prac­ticed by all village doctors when work­ing up a practice. They order their boy to harness up with the speed of lightning—rush out as if a dozen men were at death'e door--ciimb into the

sulky, and with a "g'iang" and a cut of the whip they are off like a tor­nado. '%

"Some one must be badly hurt or very sick," remarked a d o ^ l # s o ^ . and about tbe time they were remark­ing the horse is being pulled down to a walk, halt a mile away.

Doctor Preston had jogged along for three or four miles to kill time, and was thinking that the blacksmith's trade held out many possibilities for a brainy man. when he got a sudden 4

jolt Coming towards him on the broad highway was a pony and cart driven by a girl. No, not driven, be­cause the driver had lost the lines and they were squirming under the potty's feet, while she waB clinging to the seat like grim death.

No screaming with terror! No calls for help! Just a pale-faced girl, with tight-shut teeth—Just Nina Gilbert!

There was timeYor the doctor to turn out and leave the runaway a clear road, but there was the bridge he had just crossed. If the pony swerved so much as a foot when he struck the bridge there must be a • smash. To spring from the sulky and poise to jump out on the runaway for a bridle-hold meant taking a hundred chances to one. The doctor threw up a hfind to tell the girl to brace her­self, and then wheeled his rig square across the road. He hadn't five sec­onds to spare before the crash came. The pony never raised a foot to leap the obstruction, but struck the horse like a cannon ball, and there was a grand smash. Seen in a moving pic­ture show, it surely would have cap­tured the kids.

When Doctor Preston sat up and wondered where he was at, both horses and vehicles were mixed up His horse was dead, and the other bad a broken leg. His sulky was kind-ling wood, and the pony cart needed hundreds of repairs. It slowly dawned on the doctor that there was some­thing else. He had no broken bones, though he had been badly jolted. He got to his feet, staggered around to see Mlsi Nina Gilbert lying uncon­scious in the road. The sight aroused him and gave him strength. After a brief examination he said to himself:

"Left arm broken; scalp wound; right cheek gashed; probably half a dozen bad bruises; unconscious, but not so badly hurt."

A farmer came driving along in a buggy.

"I've got to borrow your rig to get this patient home." said the doctor.

"Runaway?" was queried. "As you see." "Who is the gal?" "Miss Gilbert of tbe village." "Then you don't borrow no rig of

mine! She's a high-flyer. She drives around the country crowding humble folks like me into the ditch."

Doctor Preston had to thrash the farmer to gain his point but it was well and cheerfully done. Then he threatened to do it over again unless he lent a hand to lift the patient up. Miss Nina regained consciousness barely five minutes before reaching home. Her first words after recognis­ing the doctor were:

"I—I thought you'd surely be killed!"

"Only a few bruises. You got the worst of it."

"Am I badly hur t r "A broken arm is the worst Yon

will want to send to the city for a doctor, I jLuppose?"

"No", sir, I won't!" was the spirited reply. "It's your case, and you'll tend to it."

"But-^r _ "That's all, please,*9 and then to her father and mother, who came rushing out of the house:

"Don't make such a fuss over i t please. Poor Billy saw a tramp asleep by the roadside and bolted with me. I lost the lines the very first thing."

"I will telephone at once to—" be* gan the father, but he was halted by: •

"I have already arranged with Doc­tor Preston to attend my case."

It was while the doctor was at his office to get the things needed to work with that Miss Nina, despiteher suf-feringe^told the brief but thrilling story; That was why the young med­ico found two hands stretched but to him oh his return.

The broken arm was set, the scalp wound sewed up, and next day when old Doctor Bliss accompanied the young doctor to Inspect the work, be • said to the parents: ~

""Couldn't have been done better by any city surgeon."

The villagers did not hear of Doctor Preston's quick wit and heroism from ^ his own lips, but when it was known he was kept very busy shaking hands. Jn a day or two another horse and sulky were driven around to replace his loss, and the old doctor shook hands with him and said: ^¾*^ '¾^

[OR MANY years no slaves have been Imported into Morocco by sea. Mediterranean pirates no longer chase unfortunate vessels that have ventured near the in­

hospitable coast of Moghre, but slavery still exists everywhere in .Morocco, Mme. Doctor fcegey writes in

Pittsburg Gazette-Times. Mara-kech is still, as it was at the time of which Voltaire wrote, the headquar­ters of this shameless traffic. In vain France forbids slavery in all her Afri­can possessions, but as long as numer­ous droves of human cattle are driven into Marakeoh by caravans from Souss and Tafllet the slave trade will con­tinue.

The Imported slaves are readily sold, either openly in the market or secretly. The slave market is situated In the quarter of the aularines, or druggists. Nothing is more pitiful than to see this slave market, where sales are made in bright daylight under the protection of Allah.

Imagine an enormous open square, surrounded by a large number of boxes, in the center Is a covered gal­lery. Under which the vendors stand In rainy weather. A little before the opening time of the market the slave traders bring in their human merchan­dise, leaving the actual sale to Com­missioners, dellals.

Slav* Mart Opened With Prayer. Women, children, youth and grown

men are driven promiscuously into the boxes, in most cases they make no attempt at resistance. They know full well that they have nothing to say, and that they will be sold whether they like It or not. Little by little the square Is filled- up by purchasers. Everybody tries to get the best place to obtain a good view of the slaves. At last tbe dellals arrive.

The market is opened with a solemn prayer. Standing near the entrance gate with their hands open to simu­late "the book," they place themselves under the protection of Sidl bel Abbes,

Ke-patron of town, and in a loud voice ctte the "Fatiha," or first sourate of

the Koran. It reads: "Praised be Allah, master

it the universe, the lenient, the mer­ciful, the ruler on the day of retribu­tion. It is thee whom we adore, it is thy help we implore—"

When the invocation is over, each del la 1 takes charge of the lot of slaves intrusted to him. A hasty toilet Is made, consisting in removing the most filthy rags and replacing them by neat­ly clean clothes. This enhances the value of the ware, and the sale be­gins.

The dellals run all around the square in all directions, followed by the group of women, children and men they have to sell. If any buyer appears to be Interested the gang is stopped and he is given an opportunity to take his choice. He carefully examines the hair, teeth and limbs ot the creatures offered for sale.

When a bargain is made it Is rati­fied before the adoul (notary). The price depends on the sex, age and qualty. of the slave. I have seen a man of twenty-four sold for 16 douros has* sanl, or about $14 in American money, while a girl of ten or twelve brings 120 to ISO douros. The very little children are worth next to nothing. A woman who knows how to cook may bring BOO douros. When a woman Is brought to the market with an infant at her breast or just able to walk it often hap­pens that the buyer wants only the mother; the poor baby is then sold separately. Heartrending scenes take place, for the mother, even if she be the lowest kind of savage, refuses to submit to this brutal separation will­ingly, but Is soon beaten into submis-sion by merciless blows.

Sales Are Perfectly Legal. Inside the limit of two months the

sale may be declared void, If the slave does not come up to the stipulated conditions. The Biave is then re­turned Jo the merchant. This gives rise to many lawsuits, and not seldom the cases are carried even to the pasha, who pronounces final judgment.

These sales, as I have said, take place quite openly in the market, ac­cording to certain laws. The market is practically a state institution.

Nobody can imagine what a harem is like, nor form any idea of the enor­mous number of women kept prisoners within its walls. I have visited har­ems containing 500 women and over. An ordinary citizen owns a score of slaves. Monogamy exists nowhere, and those too poor to own slaves are dreaming only of the day when they can possess some.

The sultan shares the vices of his people. H1b harem is fantastic beyond all imagination. Besides the women he has about him at Fez, he has at Marakech, in the lar-el-makhzen, a re­serve, 3,000 women. The royal harem

Every time a caid fears the anger of the sultan, or merely wishes to please him, he offers him a number of women, often his own daughters. On account of this the number of unfor­tunate women is almost daily in­creased, and they are kept in a prison from which they are liberated only by death.

TWO DESSERTS THAT P L E A S E

Raspberry Charlotte One of the Meet Delicious— Baptist Cake* Wnrth

Giving a Trial.

AMOOR16H nam

Raspberry Charlotte—Butter a quart pudding dish, sprinkle in a layer of coarse bread crumbs (use tne; crumbs free from crust), put butter in little bits here and there, a layer of canned raspberries and a sprinkling of sugar. Continue in this way until dish is filled, using about equal measures of fruit and crumbs, one tablespoonful of butter and three-fourths cup sugar. Have the last layer crumbs. Cover and bake half An hour, then remove cover to brown top. Serve hot with cream. Cheap and delicious.

Baptist Cakes—Place in a granite basin two cupfuls milk, one-fourth tea-spoonful salt, one-half teaspoon sugar, one rounding teaspoon butter; simmer only until butter is melted, remove from fire and when of blood heat stir in half a yeast cake dissolved in one-fourth cup luke warm water and suf­ficient sifted flour to form a dough: cover and set In a warm place to rise. Knead thoroughly, breaking off into tiny pieces of walnut size; again let rise and fry in deep fat until crisp and brown. Either chopped nuts or rais­ins may be added if a richer break fast bread Is desired. Serve very hot in a folded napkin. This quantity makes enough for two meals and may be reheated in the oven.

ONE OF T H E BEST OF S A L A D S

As Season for This Delicacy le Almost Here, This Is Good Recipe

to Remember.

Fill the bottom of the salad dish with aspic jelly and set on ice until it is very hard. Then in the salad dish place a smaller bowl, but large enough to hold the desired amount of salad. Fill the bowl with Ice and pour melted Jelly around it between the two dishes. When the jelly is hard re­move the ice from the inner bowl, fill it with hot water for an instant and lift it out, being careful not to break the jelly. Now make any of the ordi­nary salads, or slice firm red toma­toes, with a little green, such as let­tuce or celery, mixed among them. Place the salad in the space left in the Jelly, cover with more jelly and place in the refrigerator. When want­ed, place the salad dish in hot water for a moment, reverse quickly and turn out on a cooled platter. Serve with mayonnaise dressing.

Here and There. The adept in cooking does her work

without many utensils. Milk puddings are the best desserts

for children, but they should be va­ried.

All green vegetables, , roots and tuberB should be crisp and firm when put on to cook.

In cold weather cream sometimes refuses to "come" to butter. When such Is the case, set it away over night. By morning it will have sepa­rated, pour off the thick part, which a few minutes' stirring will bring to butter.

When a large bottle of olives has been opened and a part of them used, those remaining in the brine some­times become soft and almost taste­less To avoid this, pour half an inch of oilive oil on top and cork well. The olives will retain their flavor Indefi­nitely.

Grape Cup. Pour half a cupful of boiling water

over four tablespoonfuls of grape jelly and stir until dissolved. Add the acme quantity of cold water, one tablespoonful of sugar, and a little lemon juice.

Place a lump of ice in a glass pitcher and pour the liquid over. Any kind of jelly will answer if the grape is not at hand. If current jelly is used then less lemon juice will be required, currants being rather tart.

Argentine Soup, Soak one-half pint of split peas for

two hours. Boil in plenty of water for two hours with two bay leaves and 12 seeds of dried red pepper. An hour before serving add one quart of good strong stock or three-quarters ot a pint of cold roast meat gravy. One-half hour before serving add one pint of canned tomatoes. Strain through a colander, season with salt to taste. Allow soup to boil again be­fore serving. This soup may be varied by using different. fresh and dried vegetables.

Potato Toddle. Into a kettle put two or three

slices of salt pork cut In small pieces; fry grown, peel and slice four large pt tatoes and onions, putting first a layer of potatoes and* then onions, and so on. Season with salt and pepper and cover with water. Boil 20 min­utes; when done add a generous lump of butter.

Poulette Sauce. , Poulette sauce is a broth thickenetf

with flour and one egg yolk and sea oned and strained.

tit. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST oh all subjects pertaining to the Subject of building, for the readers of this paper. Oh account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all theefe subjects. Address all inquiries to William A.

Everyone realizes the advantages of building on a good wide lot. but unfortunately real estate values are so high that not everyone can afford as large a space as he would like. Real estate operators have a habit of dividing up their sections into 25-foot lots, probably because that is a convenient number to figure with and not because it makes a space well suited for home building purposes.

As a matter of fact, it is a difficult matter ordinarily to design a satis­factory frame house to occupy a 25-foot lot Some space must be left on each side for light and air; also the fire hazard arising from too close building must be considered.

The accompanying design solves this problem especially well. The to­tal width is 20 feet, being the width at the bay window. The balance of the right-hand wall is recessed 2¼ feet, giving additional light and air. The left-hand wall has no important window openings in it, so the house can be placed well up to the lot line on that side. Accordingly, on a 25-foot lot, even though the adjoining property should be built in close, a strip of lawn 7½ feet wide could be had along the right side of the house.

can possibly be had. As an aid to ventilation it Is unsurpassed, and for comfort on the cold, rainy days of fall or spring, and even summer, when the furnace fire is out, there is noth­ing quite so cozy and comfortable as a blazing wood fire in the grate.

The second floor of this house pro­vides three good-sized bedrooms and a bath. There is also a generous supply of closet space.

The house is planned along very economical lines as the estimated cost, $2,000, will indicate. This esti­mate provides for a good grade of material throughout, red oak floors

Graphophone Player Had Hard Work <» to Keep From Laughing Over

Compliment He Received. •

First Floor Plan,

This would be enough to secure good sunshine and air for the dining room and kitchen, the parlor or living room taking its light from the front

This design has been very popular with the home builders in all parts of the country, which is not surpris­ing when one considers the very at­tractive and substantial outward ap­pearance of this house and the con­venient arrangement of the interior.

Coming through the vestibule, which is 4 8 feet, access may be had to the parlor and also directly into the dining room. The parlor is 12 feet square, having a large octagon bay in front A cased opening con­nects this room with the dining room, 14 by 19 feet in size. An open stair­way at one side of this room adds to Its apparent size. The kitchen is directly back of the dining room, with a' good-sized pantry to the left. The cellar stairs go down from this pantry. A nice feature of the dining room is the fireplace and china closet.;

No house should be built without a good, serviceable fireplace, if such

Out on the South side the other day the young man of the house was play­ing a graphophone. He put on rec­ords by Emilio Gogoroza, the famous barytone; John McCormack and Evan Williams, tenors, and even played numbers by quartets.

Working upstairs at that time paint­ing screens was a jack-of-all trades from a shop in the neighborhood. He stopped his work and listened intent­ly to the various kinds of solo and ensemble vocal efforts. Finally when the young man went up to his room he found his ''audience/' open-mouth­ed, standing in the upper hallway, a dust brush In one hand and a screen in the other.

"By gum," said the screen man, "I have heard a lot 0' singin' in my time, but for all-around good singin', both high and low, you beat anything I over hearn."

The young man was so taken back by the compliment that he acknowl­edged It with a low bow and backed into his room. Then he had to re­tire to a closet in order to laugh out of range of the screen man's ears.— Kansas City Journal.

BETSY'S BIG HERO - i

Story of Revolutionary War ; Girl Saves Life of British Spy

Caught in Storm.

BY CLARISSA MACK IE. It was snowing drearily and a bit­

ter little wind moaned among the tree tops, creaking the frozen branches until they waved like stiff black fin­gers.

Little Betsy Stevens slipped a hood over her bright hair, and, wrapping herself in a blue cloak, she swept a path from the kitchen door to the hen house and another and longer one out to the road that ran y&at the lonely house into the woods i>eyond.

The road was lonely and fearsome because the British encampment was not far away and the red-coated sol­diers had ravaged the little farmhouse of its choicest provisions, and of the big flock of chickens there remained one solitary member—Old Nicodemus, the ancient red rooster.

Betsy Stevens looked carefully up and down the road, but there was not the flicker of a red coat, and when she had finished sweeping her path she leaned her round chin on the broom handle and looked dreamily through the failing flakes at the beginning of the road—where it emerged from an­other wood beyond which the Ameri­can troops were encamped.

It was from this wood that Betsy ex­pected her lover to ride some fine day. No, she had never met him yet —he was a dream lover, but lately he had taken on the form and fea­tures of her hero, Gen. George Wash­ington.

Suppose, now, this very minute, a black charger should break through the woods and appear on the white­ness of the snowy road!

How wonderful It would be—she would lead him to the house and her uricle and aunt would hasten to wait upon him and Betsy herself would carry In his supper!

But tonight the road was deserted. No hero came forth to ask for food and lodging. Only the snow fell soft­ly and the wind moaned bitterly.

By the time the evening meal was cleared away the storm had Increased mightly. The wind, screamed pierc­ingly around the snug farmhouse and the snow swirled madly' in freezing stinging flakes.

Jabez Stevens and his wife went to bed early that night, knowing ths»t the early morning would bring them hard work after the storm.

Betsy, nervous and excited by the storm, sat by the glowing logs on the kitchen hearth, cuddling Peter, the big black cat.

The old clock In the corner ticked away the moments, and Betsy yawned, nodded drowsily, and went fast asleep. Suddenly she awoke with a little start. The Are had died down to red embers and-the hands of the clock Were pointing to midnight.

"Mercy!" cried Betsy, "what will Aunt Ellen say when she finds out— eh, Peter, boy?"

Peter opened his red mouth In a yawn just as there came a sound out­side the kitchen door. It was a muffled thud followed by a faint groan.

Betsy's heart stood still for an In­stant. Then she tiptoed so?tly to the window and peered out.

Huddled against the doorstep she could see a dark form splashed with snow.

With a little cry of pity Betsy un­latched the door and the form tumbled Into the room. With slender, strain­ing arms she managed to drag it to the fireplace, where it loped down in a h*«ap. When she had closed the doov upon the howling storm, Betsy ran z*> the storeroom, and in five min­utes, she had made a mug of mulled cider and was holding it to the white, Btiff lips of the exhausted man.

Her heart beat riotously. It could be no other than her hero—

the great general—this splendid man wrapped In the dark cloak, his noble face as white as the snow he came out of.

Slowly his lips moved, slowly he swallowed, once, twice; slowly his lids lifted above handsome hazel eyes to gaze for one bewildered instant into Betsy's tender Mttle face. He smiled and his lips murmured grati­tude Then he jerked himself to a sitting posture and leaned against the big hickory chair.

"You are very kind," he murmured in rather a surprised way as Betsy threw more logs on the fire.

"Did you lose your way in the storm?" asked Betsy, intent on warm­ing a skillet of porridge for the way­farer.

He looked up at her under straight dark brows. "Yes—I was sent on a secret mission and I was returning to camp when I lost my way, and I have been wandering around in the woods and fields for hours. Just as I had given up hope I saw a gleam of light from your window and so I came."

Betsy placed the bowl of steaming porridge "and milk in his hands.

"You bad better take off your cloak

and spread it to dry," suggested Betsy as her guest arose and sat down in the big chair.

He shook his bead and wrapped1 the cloak still more snugly about him. He had lost his hat, and the wind and snow bad removed the powder from his hair, so that it showed its natural color—a rich brown.

Betsy watched him with tender, timid eyes.

"Tomorrow be will tell us that he 1s the commander-in-chief," thought Betsy dreamily. "Now I must run and ask Uncle Jabez if I may put him in the spare chamber." She started to her feet, but the stranger lifted a shapely hand in protest.

"Where are you going, little maid?" he asked, knitting his handsome brows.

"To awaken my uncle and tell him that you are here—we will then pre­pare ajbed for you and—" she paused as the stranger rose with precipitate haste and came toward her.

"I pray you do not disturb anyone," he pleaded in his rich voice. "I am going now—your kind ministrations have quite revived me. Some day— when the war is over—perhaps I may come and thank you again for saving my life."

Betsy's heart beat tumultuously, and her lovely eyes drooped and as she stood there mute she could see a strange thing happening to his soaked cloak. Steam from the heat of the fire was rising from the cloth, and lit­tle by little it was drying and wher­ever it had dried it was—scarlet!

He looked down and saw it too, and perhaps realizing that he was discov­ered to be her enemy, he boldly tossed aside the scarlet cloak so that she could see the splendor of his red and gold uniform.

She had been entertaining one of his majesty's officers—one of the wicked Invaders of her country! Tears came to Betsy's lovely eyes— tears of disappointment. Who could make a hero out of a despised and hated Britisher?

"Why are you crying?" he asked gently.

"I—thought perhaps you were Gen-eral Washington," whispered Betsy, fearful now that her uncle might wake up and find the intruder.

"And if you had known who I was you would not have let me in out of the storm?" he queried.

"Ah—yes—I must do that!" cried impulsive Betsy. "I would not have you think I am sorry for the little I could do—I am glad—glad—but I am sorry Uncle Jabez doesn't like—Brit­ishers," she ended naively.

He smiled very tenderly upon her troubled face. "I am sorry, too; but some day when this war is over-then may I come riding up to your door and make a call upon Mis­tress—?"

"Betsy Stevens," supplied Betsy softly. "Yes, you may, sir—and 1 hope you will go through the war safely."

"Thank you," he said as he bent over her little hand, and his lips brushed It.

"God go with you," whispered Betsy as he stepped through the door; he heard her and his eyes shone wonder­fully. Through many a lonely bivouac and on many a toilsome march he re­membered the dense snowstorm and the little maid standing in the door­way against the warm background of fire and candlelight e -

A very wonderful thing was that neither Uncle Jabez nor Aunt Ellen knew a word about it until long after­ward.

But there was something still more wonderful. After Betsy had spent four anxious years waiting for the war to end, worrying about the safety of her nameless hero, feeling a traitor because she had really lost her heart to the stranger, there came a day when the war was .over and everyone was feeling happy and almost cordial toward the vanquished enemy.

It was on that happy day that Betsy went Into the woods seeking trailing arbutus, for it was May and tbe whole world was a-quiver with new life, A horseman came riding down the mossy path and Betsy turned, her hands full of the odorous pink bios soma.

A warm color flooded her fair face as their eyes met. He had doffed his scarlet uniform and wore clothes of beautiful gray satin. v

"Mistress Betsy Stevens," he said bowing to the ground, "I have com** back because I want to thank you fo* saving my life—and I have come baclr because I can never be happy again unless you promise to marry me and protect me hereafter."

There was a smile in his eyes as he said this, and somehow Betsy could see In a flash that it was her hero standing there—and that she shou'd always love him despite country o* creed or protesting relatives.

But it so happened that her rela­tives made no protest—indeed, they were quite delighted that little Betsy should make such a splendid mar-rlage.

And it was not until she became Lady Fairbaim that Betsy and her husband told the relatives about the> snowy night when Betsy savtid his life. (Copyright, mi by the McClurw

Mountain Fever. Miss Dora Keene was talking at a

tea at the Acorn club in Philadelphia, about mountaineers' enthusiasm.

"The frenzy to get higher, higher, higher," she said, "is quite Incredible to those who have done no mountain­eering.

"There's a story, doubtless true, about a girl who climbed the Schreck-horn, a difficult rock-scramble. When the summit was .reached the head guide, wiping his brow, panted:

" 'Well, here we are, men, up on the top at last.'

Simple Remedy for Burns. Common whiting, mixed with water

to the consistency of a thick dream spread on linen, forms an excellent lo­cal application to burns and scalds. The whole burnt surface should be covered, thus excluding the action of the air. The ease it affords is instan­taneous, and it only requires to be kept moist by occasional sprinkling of cold water.

A L L SAVE LABOR IN KITCHEN

Little Helps That Will Leave the Housewife Less Tired When

Day's Work Is Ended.

A shelf back of the kitchen table on which to place cups, spoons and small vessels that are used frequently, the wash basin, within reach of the roller towel, a drinking cup near the water pail, all save needless exertion and time that may be utilized for some­thing else or rest

The very best stove holder can be made of an did stocking by cutting off the foot at the ankle and folding it into the leg, fastening it well as tt is folded over and over until it Is the square shape of the common ironing holder. A brass ring in one corner is a great convenience for hanging and such a holder can be laundered.

In the sewing room, patterns should have their place of quick and easy access and if each one is marked it will often prove a blessing. A bag fastened on the lower part of the sew­ing machine for scraps will likewise be a comfort, and sharp scissors and a work table are absolute necessities.

OLD B R E A K F A S T T A B L E DISH

Spanish Omelet, When Properly Made, Deserves All the Popularity It

Has Attained.

Cut fou* ounces of bacon in very thin slices and then into one-half inch squares. Fry gently until crisp, then add one small onion, a medium sized ' tomato and five mushrooms, all chop­ped rather fine. Rub a freshly cut clove of garlic upon the spoon for stir­ring while Rooking 15 minutes. Mean­while break six eggs into a bowl, season with a saltspoonful of salt, one-fourth saltspoonful of white pepper. Give them a dozen good strokes and turn into a perfectly smooth frying pan, in which a teaspoonful of butter has been melted, and well spread. Do not stir, but shake constantly until the omelet is nearly set. Spread the bacon and vegetables quickly over the omelet, fold over and set it in the oven for about one minute. Then slip it upon a hot platter and serve at once.

Our Cook Says That In filling a, cake pan it is well

to remember that the center of the cake is the part which will be the highest. If the batter is spread as much to the sides as possible, leaving a depression in the center, then the cake when baked will be level.

That a cheap and durable toaster for a gas stove is a piece of sheet iron. Over this is a, five-cent fire toaster can be used without danger of burning or blackening the bread.

That when baking or scalloping potatoes, chops can be baked in a pan in the oven, steak broiled underneath or pudding or pie cooked at the same time. It saves gas.

Warm Slaw. Select a nice solid head of winter

cabbage and cut it up very fine. Put into a hot frying pan a piece of but­ter, the size, of a walnut, and when melted put in the cabbage with a very little water; le t j t simmer till well done. Then beat up one egg very light and stir in slowly; lastly, add one-half cup of sour cream; salt and pepper to suit the taste. Another method for "hot slaw" Is to simply make a boiled dressing of two egg yolks, two tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of sour cream, one cup of vinegar, and a rounded teaspoonful of butter, and* pour this over the fine­ly-cut cabbage

Rice Pudding With Fig Sauce. Press hot boiled rice into buttered

cups; then slip out on a hot dish and pour the sauce over. Look carefully over the figs to be used; place them in a pan and cover with cold water; cook until tender; chop very fine and press through a coarse sieve. To this pulp add the juice of one-half lemon and sugar if not sufficiently sweet

To Restore a Faded Carpet. To revive the colors in faded car­

pet which is still good for further wear. Take half a pail of warm wa­ter and add to it either a handful of salt or a half cup of turpentine, or half a cup of vinegar, or a good-sized lump of alum, or on dark colors, four table-spoonfuls of ammonia, any of which helps to brighted the colors.

A HIGHER STAGE OF WATER THAN LAST SPRING IS

PREDICTED.

GOV. DUNNE RUSHES MEN AND SUPPLIES TO SCENE.

All Along the Mississippi Watero Are High and People Are Pteeing

From Their Homes In Terror.

Trainloads of persons left Cairo fol­lowing receipt of news that the Ohio river was expected to reach a higher stage than during the disastrous flood of last spring. R. T. Lindley, the local weather forecaster, issued a statement, saying:

"With weather conditions becom­ing somewhat unsettled in this river district and rapid rises continuing in the Ohio and Wabash rivers, a 54-foot stage is regarded as certain at Cairo if the levees below hold. Fifty-six feet is regarded as a strong possibility here. As a prudential (measure it is ad­visable that women, children and the infirm seek more secure refuge."

The Ohio has reached 51.8 feet. Ev­ery attention is being given the levees here. Labor is scarce and an appeal was sent to Governor Dunne for help and he responded that he would send 1,000 men, 200 national guardsmen, 10,000 rounds of rations and 200,000 sacks.

On the Missouri side of the Missis­sippi river water is reported every­where. Hundreds of refugees have come into Cairo. Conditions in this entire district and are very serious.

News of State University. Dr. H. H. Cummings, assistant to

Dr. Reuben Peterson, was appointed university physician by the board of regents at their meeting last night, and Dr. Elsie S. Pratt, of Denver, was appointed physician to the women.

Dr. S.- C. Lind was granted a leave of absence for next year that he may work with the United States govern­ment in the new laboratory of the bu­reau of mines at Denver on radio­activity, in an effort to obtain a means of supply of radium from existing American ores. The $150 grant from the bureau of classic fellowships was given to Amos JVeigel, of Dover, Pa., who obtained his A. B. degree at the same meeting.

Four "master" degrees were grant­ed, three masters of art, as follows: Robert Clark, of Ann Arbor; Helen Parry, Ann Arbor; Robert Smith, Du-rand, and master of civil engineering, Ralph Goodrich, Ann Arbor. Assistant Dean W. H. Butts, of the engineering department, was granted a leave of absence from April 15 to 30, tb enaole him to inspect the Panama canal be­fore its completion.

Loss of Life at Peru. An official report received by Mayor

Charles E. Goetz, of South Bend, said that 300 persons were drowned at Peru, that no bodies had been recov­ered and that there was less than one block of the entire city that was not under water.

The report was telephoned to May­or Goetz by the relief party sent from South Bend, which reached the out­skirts of Peru. It stated further that only two feet of the upper parts of the houses in the submerged disstricts could be seen ;that the court house, the hospital and some factory build­ings were crowded with survivors in need of food and that Gov. Ralston had been asked to send more supplies from Fort Wayne.

Miss Maude Gilchrist, who has been dean of women at the Agricultural col­lege at East Lansing, for some years has been notified of her appointment to a place on the faculty of *Wellesley college.

Attractive prizes have been offered by business men and manufacturers of Hastings, to the Junior Civic gram-mar grades, to encourage them to raise all kinds of flowers and vegetables.

A monument and marker will be placed on the trail of Fr. Marquette through the Arlington Park, according to the decision of Petosega chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.

William Barnes, of Lansing, awaiting a decision of the supreme court in a case in which he was convicted on a charge of killing a little girl with an automobile, confessed to the police tlat he was one of a party of three young men who pulled several fire alarm boxes, causing the Are depart* meat to make four unnecessary runs.

Queer Ironing. A writer in the Wide World maga­

zine says that the most curious sight he say at Cairo was men ironing clothes with their feet! The men were employed in the native tailoring establishments.

Except for the long handle, the iron were shaped like the ordinary flat-iron, only larger. A solid block of wood rested on the top of the iron, and on this the men placed one foot, guiding the iron in the desired direc­tion by means of the handle. For the sake of convenience, ironing boards were raised only a few inches from the ground, and, however strange the method may seem to us, the work was done very well and very expedi­tiously.

Monroe, Wis.— 'When my baby was six weeks old there came a rash on his face which finally spread until It got nearly all over his body. It form­ed a crust on his head, hair fell out and the itch was terrible. When he would scratch the crust, the water would ooze out in big drops. On face and body it was in a dry form and would scale oft. He was in great mis­ery and at nights I would lie awake holding his hands so that he could not scratch and disfigure himself. I tried simple remedies at first, then got medicine, but it did no good.

''Finally a friend suggested Cuticura Remedies, so I sent for a sample to see what they would do, when to my surprise after a Jew applications I could see an improvement, and he would rest better. I bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of Cuti­cura Soap and before I had them half used my baby was cured. His head is now covered with a luxuriant growth of hair and his complexion is ad­mired by everybody and has no dis­figurements.1* (Signed) Mrs. Annie, Saunders, Sept. 29, 1911.
